PREPARE ADAM GOD TRIAL.

Prosecuting Attorney Conkling Is In

Oklahoma City to Get Evidence.

In preparation for the trial of James Sharp and Melissa Sharp, fanatic leaders of the city hall riot last December, Virgil Conkling, prosecuting attorney, has gone to Oklahoma City. A large part of the defense will be in the form of depositions from persons who do not care to come to Kansas City for the trial May 17. As only the defense may introduce depositions in evidence, Mr. Conkling has gone to cross-examine the witnesses.

The evidence to be gathered in Oklahoma bears largely on the conduct of the Sharps while they were leaders of a band in that state.
